I can't reply directly to pdx, but pdx seems convinced that Assad has not targeted civilians despite ample evidence to the contrary, based on one post from a site that strains credibility, and takes acceptance of the very clear fact that he has done so to mean someone is advocating for a nuclear war with Russia, and accuses me of not being old enough to remember Iraq. How these conclusions are reached is left unstated besides "you don't have every single fact that could possibly be had about this despite that not being necessary." You've shown the level of credibility we should attribute you, which is none.
- pdx 10y agoI am being polite and laying out the reasons why you need to examine your beliefs. Nobody said you need to know every event in Syria to form an opinion. You just need to know about a single, proven event that supports the war hysteria narrative you have been fed. Do you?
- the_watcher 10y agoIn what way is pointing out that Assad has behaved as an enemy to the United States would or that Syria is on the state sponsors of terrorism list (compiled by people with more knowledge than either of us) creating a war hysteria narrative? Are you claiming that Syria is not in the midst of a war claiming the countless lives? Are you claiming that Assad is not an aggressor? If you object to everything as unproven based on the fact that you found a website saying it's unproven, is it even possible to find a "proven" event?
